OMFG!!! f'ing MAGA bastards.

Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was attacked with a hammer at the couple’s home in San Francisco by a male assailant early Friday morning, law enforcement sources tell CNN.

The assailant who attacked Paul Pelosi was searching for the speaker of the House, according to a source briefed on the attack. The intruder confronted the speaker’s husband in their San Francisco home shouting “Where is Nancy, where is Nancy?” according to the source.

Pelosi, 82, was hospitalized but is expected to make a full recovery, the Democratic speaker’s office said in a statement.

1. but of course we don't know if it was politically motivated

3. Why is Nancy and her family not under SS protection? The fucking MAGA would be murderers

have put a target on her back and on every Democrat.

[GreenWave]

4. Because they are not moderately threatened SC justices?

15. Isn't that the truth...I am so pissed...

[JohnSJ]

5. An excellent point

[pidge]

9. I wasn't aware that the attacker been identified.

[Demsrule86]

16. Yup, they caught him. I wonder if there was an alarm that went off or maybe Paul Pelosi

was able to set it off...he would have killed Mr. Pelosi. I think the cops must have interrupted him.

2. Fucking MAGAt

POS terrorist. Fuck you and all MAGAts everywhere.

8. Fucking bastards...I despise them. Hittiing an 82 year old man with a hammer and they meant

to kill him no doubt. The cops arrived in time. That is why they caught him. This was an assassination attempt. This was the second time. January 6th was the first.

6. GOOP will probably say it's staged.

[Demsrule86]

10. They are saying that at Freeperville already... I checked.

[LakeArenal]

13. I guess it doesn't matter. I think everyone knows who they are voting for.

Conspiracy after conspiracy. Aren’t folks tired of it? Nov. can’t come soon enough.

[Demsrule86]

17. We need to get out every vote. Let's save Nancy's house!

[LakeArenal]

20. I f this attack can't sway an undecided,

Then they were never that undecided.

7. The office of Speaker of the House

should receive protection of the secret service no matter which party controls the house, imho. For some reason I thought she was receiving protection. I am glad to read that Mr. Pelosi is expected to make a full recovery.

[Demsrule86]

12. Of course there should be protection against these maniacs on the right. Cowards.

[Polybius]

19. She is receiving armed protection

Unfortunately, it doesn't extend to her family.

14. I wonder how they caught the guy

Did Paul make a citizen's arrest? Do they have security? Just curious as to how the guy didn't get away (glad he didn't)

[Demsrule86]

18. If you are beaten with a hammer, I doubt it. I think the cops came because of an alarm or a

911 call and stopped the guy...I have no inside knowledge. It just seems logical.
